The top deck is the blue deck and that is home to the moonlight lounge. This is a more relaxed area with artists performing on a piano in the centre of the room and a bar.

We had a great choice of food to choose from in The Kitchen from starters, salads, curry’s, roast dinners, fish, kids meals and vegetables - there was something for everyone to enjoy. And the wide range of desserts looked delicious.

Certain soft drinks also came in with the price of the meal, which you could help yourself to.

After exploring more side streets and trying to decide how we could possibly choose which chocolates to buy we agreed on a brewery tour.

Views from the brewery tour

Bruges is very well-known for its beer, so it would be rude not to sample a few!

We did a brewery tour for the beer Bourgogne de Flanders. When we arrived we were informed by a member of staff that the next tour didn’t start for another 40 minutes, however, we were handed tokens for a beer each and we took a seat outside overlooking the canal.

We enjoyed our beers overlooking the canal

We sat supping our beer and looking out over the canal and some of the sights of Bruges and for me it was one of the best parts of the trip.

The tour started at 3pm and we were taken around the brewery and listened to information via a device which we hung around our necks and put up to our ear at each information point.

It was a similar set up to the night before with similar dishes on offer, with a few changes to switch things up.

That evening we decided to sit in the Moonlight Lounge and play cards while listening to the music being played on the piano.

After another good night’s sleep we had our breakfast in the morning and then docked back in Hull and just like that the break was over.

Overall we both really enjoyed the trip to Bruges on P&O Ferries.

Travelling by P&O Ferry is part of the holiday as soon as you step on board, making the journey instantly enjoyable and stress free with very helpful and friendly staff, leaving nothing to worry about.
